QUAINT TOOTHACHE CHARMS.
SOlace for Persons Whose "Thumpers"
are Humping.

Avn @NFfNNH
In the royal library at Stockholm is pre-
served q manuscript charm for ~toothache,
consisting OF a Latin prayer to one Of the
saints. At Bonn-on-the-R Rhine a tooth,
said to have been one of here. is shown in
a glass case in the Church of the Saints
Day, and the case is deyOutly kissed by
people of 10th sexes, rs 4 preventive
against tOothache. One of the most popu-
lar charms against the complaint consists
in carrying the following form of words
somewhere about the person:
"As SAINT Peter sat at the goats of Jeru-
salem our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus
Crist passed by and sead What Eleth thee
hee sead Lord my Teeth ecketh hee sead
arise and follow me and thy Teeth shall
never FAKE Eny moOr. Fiat-Fiat-Fat"'
This is a transcript of a Lancashire YER
sion, and should be worn inside the vest or
STAYS over the left breast. Under slightly
differing forms this charm is kerry COMMON
throughout England, Scotland and Ireland.
Two copies are preserved in the Edinburgh
Museum, which were worn as late rs 1855
and 1869. Another form of written charm
was given up by a young woman of Chelsea

The missionaries had built a chapel on
their own grounds, hut adjoining the es-
tate of the Emir S~ultaneh, a powerful
courtier, who had been ~endeayoring to per-
suade them to sell the mission premises TO
him. As no price could be agreed upon
they declined to sell, and be then entered
on a series of annOyanCes Intended to force
them to sell them at any price. Twice he
raised a mob of his own servants, aided by
some of the canaifle, who by violence drove
the men working on the chapel from the
premises. By employing great urgency at
the foreign Office | succeeded in preventing
a recurrence of such Outrages. By the eN-
pressed wish of the Shah a conference was
then held at the foreign Office TO agree
upon 4 mOdus operandi. The plan sug-
gested proved entirely acceptable to the
Shah and the minister of foreign affairs,
and the Emir Sultaneh was instructed to
accept it While apparently doing 80 he
